Seeting "Outlook Today" as default page doesn't work. Fix?

I'm running Office XP (with Outlook 2002) under Windows XP
Professional.

Outlook provides at least two ways of setting "Outlook Today" as the
default page (upon invocation of Outlook):
1. Cutomize Outlook Today-> When starting go to Outlook Today checkbox
2. Tools->Options->Other->Advance->Startup in this Folder->Outlook
Today

Unfortinately, neither of these methods works. I still get the Inbox
as my default page.

Any ideas on how to get around this problem would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Wes Klang
 
It's probably the shortcut you're using to open Outlook. Some shortcuts are
preprogrammed to open Outlook in the Inbox -- for example, the one that
appears on the Windows XP Start menu. (It's a "check e-mail" shortcut and
it will automatically open the Inbox of whatever mail program you have set
as the default.) Other shortcuts may have a switch added to the end of the
target file path that specifies opening in one folder or another. Check
your shortcut and see if any of the above applies.
